So, both are mental constructs with the potential to manifest certain actions in the environment.When parts of the music do not fit as intended, it is called dissonance. And when one of the components of attitude is discovered to be out of alignment, it creates cognitive dissonance, the catalyst for its transformation, which points to a fundamental urge towards harmony.Just as there is no universal agreement on good and bad music, there is also a lack of consensus on good and bad attitudes.This episode explores the formation of attitude and how it can be changed, while inquiring about how real or important are our attitudes in the context of personal growth and self-discovery.(music “Dream” and “Innocence” by Bing Satellites and episode artwork on website by Emily Dawn Duforest)
